After U.S. Soccer presidential candidate Eric Wynalda and Portland Thorns owner Merritt Paulson traded subtweets on New Years Day, some light has been shed on the relationship between Eric Wynalda and who is funding his campaign.
Things heated up when Paulson responded to a question about Wynalda getting trips paid for by an NASL owner for his campaign:
I have heard from many extremely connected soccer sources a candidate is funded by a nasl owner, being flown on his plane etc. nothing to do w one trip. This is old info. But apparently uninteresting as its not mls related.
